Abstract

Brunei Malay is a unique Malay dialect spoken not only in Brunei Darussalam, but also in neighboring parts of Borneo. Although extensive data are available on lexical borrowings in Standard Malay and Indonesian, surprisingly, Brunei Malay has not been studied in this regard. Our paper aims to fill this gap by identifying English, Arabic and Chinese loanwords in the only available dictionary (Kamus Bahasa Melayu Brunei). We had looked into the linguistic distribution and word classes of the borrowed lexis, and understood that the main borrower was Arabic, followed by English; however, only a few words of Chinese origin could be found in the corpus. The most prominent word class was nouns, with a significantly lower number of verbs and adjectives. In the last part of our paper we are going to give some examples for usage of these loanwords in context.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the knowledge of Brunei Malay dialect vocabulary among youths and to discuss the challenges as well as steps in enhancing the knowledge of this dialect. Brunei Malay dialect or known as ‘Cakap Barunai’ is a dialect widely used among Bruneians, and considered as the mother tongue and the daily communication language among the locals. According to studies, the Ethno Vitality Rate of Brunei Malay dialect was high and considered safe; however, recent trends have shown decreasing usage of Brunei Malay especially among the Bruneian youths (15-40 years old). There are insufficient studies to ascertain whether this trend affects the youths’ Brunei Malay vocabulary knowledge. This study adapted the Vocabulary Knowledge Scale (VKS) test on the Brunei Malay vocabulary and a set of survey containing Likert scale and open-ended questions to collect the research data distributed among 102 respondents. Based on the data, the knowledge of Brunei Malay dialect was considered low as only 20.9% received responses that indicated the correct vocabulary’s meaning. The survey showed that influences from different languages and social media, and lack of exposure and intergenerational transfer were the main causes of this issue. Suggestions to preserve this dialect included education, campaigns, social media and family involvement.

Abstract

This study investigated the challenges Sembalun guides face when using English professionally. Qualitative methods, including data reduction techniques, were employed to summarize and identify key themes and patterns. The participants comprised Sembalun guides, and data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The findings revealed that Sembalun guides need to excel in four aspects: vocabulary, accent, fluency, and grammar. While vocabulary and fluency may suffice for foreign visitors, grammar and accent present difficulties. However, Sembalun guides recognize the significance of developing these areas. Communication with visitors from Russia and France, whose accents resemble those of their native languages, presents the biggest challenge for Sembalun guides working in the tourism industry in Sembalun Village. To enhance the potential of Sembalun Village and attract more international tourists, it is essential for tourism stakeholders, especially tour guides, to possess proficient English-speaking skills. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of English language proficiency for Sembalun guides and highlight the need for continuous improvement to overcome communication challenges and enhance the tourism experience for international visitors.   Abstrak Studi ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki tantangan yang dihadapi oleh pemandu wisata Sembalun saat menggunakan bahasa Inggris dalam peran profesional mereka. Metode kualitatif, termasuk teknik reduksi data, digunakan untuk merangkum dan mengidentifikasi tema dan pola kunci. Peserta studi terdiri dari pemandu wisata Sembalun, dan data dikumpulkan melalui observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Temuan penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa pemandu wisata Sembalun perlu menguasai empat aspek: kosa kata, aksen, kelancaran, dan tata bahasa. Meskipun kosa kata dan kelancaran mungkin cukup untuk pengunjung asing, tata bahasa dan aksen menimbulkan kesulitan. Namun demikian, pemandu wisata Sembalun menyadari pentingnya mengembangkan aspek-aspek ini. Secara khusus, tantangan utama yang dihadapi pemandu wisata Sembalun yang bekerja di sektor pariwisata Desa Sembalun adalah berkomunikasi dengan tamu-tamu dari Rusia dan Prancis, karena aksen mereka menyerupai bahasa daerah mereka. Untuk meningkatkan potensi Desa Sembalun dan menarik lebih banyak wisatawan internasional, penting bagi pemangku kepentingan pariwisata, terutama pemandu wisata, untuk memiliki keterampilan berbicara bahasa Inggris yang mahir. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menekankan pentingnya kemampuan berbahasa Inggris bagi pemandu wisata Sembalun dan menyoroti perlunya perbaikan terus-menerus untuk mengatasi tantangan komunikasi dan meningkatkan pengalaman pariwisata bagi pengunjung internasional.

Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has rapidly altered academic writing in higher education by expanding access to feedback, idea generation, paraphrasing, translation, synthesis, and text revision, while also destabilising inherited assumptions about authorship, assessment, source use, and academic integrity. This scoping review maps recent journal literature from 2021 onward, anchored in a Scopus export searched on 22 February 2026. The review indicates that, under structured pedagogical conditions, GenAI may improve the surface features of student texts, support formative feedback, and reduce some barriers for multilingual writers, yet these benefits are contingent on instructional design, disciplinary context, task type, students’ language proficiency, and the presence of human verification. Some quantitative studies report substantial gains from structured interventions, including large effects in AI-enhanced goal-setting and improvements in writing quality in anti-plagiarism literacy programs, whereas qualitative studies show more ambivalent changes in writer agency, authorial voice, and metacognitive engagement. Across the corpus, academic writing is being reframed from a solely individual textual product to a distributed, processual, and ethically governed practice involving students, teachers, peers, writing centres, institutions, and algorithmic systems. The review argues that the central challenge for higher education is not whether GenAI should be permitted, but how writing pedagogy, assessment, and policy can preserve intellectual labour while teaching students to use AI critically, transparently, and responsibly within transparent and process-visible writing practices.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of online higher education has transformed not only instructional practices but also students’ social and emotional learning experiences. This study explores university students’ experiences of loneliness and social connection in online higher education contexts through a convergent mixed-methods design grounded in Social Presence Theory. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently from university students who had experienced online learning for at least one academic semester. The quantitative phase involved an online survey administered to 102 students, while the qualitative phase consisted of semi-structured interviews with 12 purposively selected participants. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, whereas qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings revealed that students experienced moderately high levels of loneliness alongside moderate levels of social connection, peer interaction, instructor interaction, and sense of belonging in online learning environments. Qualitative findings further demonstrated that students frequently perceived online learning as emotionally distant and socially limited due to reduced interpersonal interaction, limited visibility, and minimal emotional engagement. However, meaningful social connection remained possible through collaborative activities, instructor responsiveness, and active participation. The integration of findings suggests that loneliness and social connection coexist dynamically within digitally mediated educational environments. The study highlights the importance of social presence, interpersonal responsiveness, and interaction quality in fostering emotionally supportive online higher education experiences.
